I'm scheduled to be on MSNBC this afternoon to talk about the controversy over the pulled Free Republic thread about Malia Obama.
The segment should air live around 3:30 p.m. EDT barring any breaking news, etc.
David Shuster and Tamran Hall will be co-hosting the segment.
I'm heading out the door in a few minutes.

remember we have a number of trolls who stir the pot around here. A innocent comment can be spun around so that an observation about a political fashion decision is spun into a “racist” political correctness defense.
LOL
Godspeed ... knock ‘em back on their heels
with the brilliance of the TRUTH! You’ll
be awesome. Thanks for being there ... I’ll
be praying for ya.
I’d like to see the uncouth Freepers who posted the most objectionable stuff on the thread. I’m guessing most of them have sign-up dates of 2007 or later.
Will try to get you details.
I know, now. I just said I was ‘facepalming’ and giggling at myself! LOL! It was the screen name that threw me off. ;)
3:30 p.m. EDT reminder
points to make:
- some nasty comments about Obama’s children by a few anonymous posters on a thread, which was quickly deleted, cannot be compared to the ugly and mean-spirited treatment media commentators and late night comics gave over the airwaves and in the newspapers to Palin’s children
- some, but admittedly not all, can be attributed to hate-filled leftwingers making anomymous posts on FreeRepublic, for example Chris Perry
- in general, children of political leaders should be out-of-bounds, at least where those children are minors or do not put themselves out there in the public debate. The mainstream media sometimes applies a double standard to Republican vs Democrat children. See Chelsea vs. Bush twins. Palin children vs. Obama children.
LOL!
Now you’ve been told numerous times, and one feller had a hiccup—he told ya twice. :-D Too Funny!
Looking forward to seeing this and hearing your post-mortem, Kristinn. Go get ‘em!
I said “Goes both ways” NOT “Swings both ways”! LOL!
:-D Kris can give me a good thrashing when he gets back. Hehe.
Typo. The truth about Chris Parry will come out.
It may have been troll posters indeed. It’s just like DUers to sign up on FR, post something racist, then complain to the media.
“LOL!!! He probably doesn’t WANT to but I’m certain that he wants to clear up the mess. Such as there wasn’t one thread but 3 that were pulled so the left thinks the thread was reinstated. It wasn’t.”
To quote a great statesman “Wouldn’t go there...wouldn’t be prudent...” he’ll get the old, “so, have you stopped beating your wife yet?” treatment. PLUS... it will be giving this even more air time...I hate to be a pessimist, but I would ignore these cretins...
MSNBC is still on the air? Bless their hearts...
A Canadian reporter ran a story in the Vancouver Sun about racially charged comments posted here on FreeRepublic about Obama's kids. It turns out that there is some very compelling evidence that he himself and members of the leftist DailyKos website were the ones who actually posted those messages.
Are my eyes THAT bad?
